I just asked my dragon and he told me that he is "pyropneumatic." If you'd like to start an argument with him about his self-description, be my guest, but don't stand too close.

Hey, thanks everyone for the replies!

consuelo, I definitely had in mind breathing out smoke of fire. Mexico for ten years, that sounds like fun.

wsieber, the concrete sense, but specifically a living organism's respiratory system.

Jackie, thanks, your reply sounds the closest to what I'm looking for.

Au contraire, it's Wiki, so assume that it IS photoshopped.

But it just looks like a (cute) lizard on a rock. You can't tell how big it is or nothin'. I sure wonder about that line about them gliding down from the trees on sails of hindleg webbing, though.
